Because the children of the eldest son have precedence, Anne got bumped again behind William and Harry, Charles' sons with Diana.

With the arrival of William's first child - name to be determined - how does the line of succession now run and where does that place Anne?

Well, for starters, in May, the queen confirmed that the British government would work with commonwealth countries to create a new succession law.

U.K. legislation has not yet been passed to change the existing laws. It was understood, however, that the proposed legislation would apply to Charles' descendants - meaning that the new baby could eventually succeed to the throne.
